Midlife Maturation

Midlife, the longest stage of the family life cycle, is a time of multiple transitions. It is a time when roles are restructured and the rules of daily living are reconsidered. It is a time of launching children, welcoming their partners, becoming grandparents, reassessing work choices, managing illness, burying parents, and potential loss of one’s own partner through death or separation.

• What gives your life integrity and purpose?
• Are you clear on the values and principles that guide your behaviors?
• Do you want to gain more control over your emotional life?

Work on differentiation of self is the clearest path to mature growing up. The life-long journey of becoming an authentic adult is a never completed task. We do the best we can and hope our efforts will be rewarded.

• Are you committed to becoming more “responsible” for yourself?
• Do you aspire to act with more integrity toward others?
• Would you like guidance in setting appropriate limits and boundaries?

To differentiate is to provide yourself with a platform for maximum growth and personal development. Taking responsibility for your thoughts, feelings, speech and actions helps expand the universe of accomplishable positive outcomes.

• Are you striving to become more self-directed?
• Do you desire greater connection, meaning and purpose in your life?
• How honest are you about wrong doings?

So how to maintain equanimity, happiness, satisfaction, companionship, selfsufficiency, love, sensuality, contentment and acceptance? Improvement in functional level of self-differentiation is a continuous journey we are all still working on. Mindful Relationships coaching can help you keep moving forward in a positive direction.
